Whatever your role, you’re helping to build UBIOs automation platform which is helping our customers connect the disconnected web.

We’re a rapidly growing technology business with our teams distributed across Europe. We’re remote first and offer super-flexible working, personal autonomy and a place to grow and thrive. 

UBIO makes world-class software that allows companies like Google, TickX and trivago to be smarter than they would be without us. We’re well funded and have been around since 2013, servicing clients in travel, search, comparison, recruitment, ticketing and financial services. We’re at the point in our journey where we are now scaling what we do, developing our products and entering new markets.

Perks and Benefits

Work is about way more than just your salary and computer. And though we pay well and kit you out properly, we’ve also thought hard about our culture and what you need while you work for us.
We know you need to balance work with your real life, and we support you in doing that. We hire mature, responsible people like you, who we trust to work hard on terms that work for us both. And we offer a well considered package of benefits to make your life easier and happier.
We are constantly reviewing our perks to ensure we can give our team the best experience.
